I named this first one Mercury on account of he looks like the metal and he’s a little crazy too. He’s a Platinum Dragon Betta. Notice how his eyes are colored over with the silver as well. I think he can’t see well because of it and that’s why he seems crazy.

My dad has taken in the neighborhood stray... or moreso Mama cat decided that she wanted to live in the house and he was permitted to feed her and pet her when she's feeling it. she's still an outdoor cat, and would NEVER be happy staying inside. (I don't love it, but its not my cat, not my decision and more than one person in the row of houses feeds her. he lives really rural so cats being outside is a common thing. Barn cats are everywhere). So, I have...

Will be using it for large oblong vitamin type pills for the dogs

@Catzzzmeow do you think the equadose pill splitter would work for large oblong pills?

Anyone use the equadose pill grinder ?

Looking for a good pill crusher since I will be doing about 8 lager oval pills a day for the big boys was thinking I may have to split them before crushing .

So when I first got Jo and he was under 2 years old, I ASKED my vet about whether I should give him glucosamine, because I run and walk with him on hard sidewalks and he jumps up and down on the furniture. I've known many a senior dog whose joints are in pain and obviously I don't want my dog to end up like that if I can help it. The vet said glucosamine can treat joint pain if a dog's already got it but isn't really used as a preventative.

WELL, I was talking to my vet tech...

Is anyone using glucosamine with their big dog to prevent joint pain in the future?]]>12Senior Dog QuestionsFri, 26 Apr 2019 20:54:17 +0000https://sphynxlair.com/community/threads/senior-dog-questions.45593/

All of a sudden, over the past few weeks, we’ve noticed that Boogie has been stealing food off our plates right in front of us, with zero remorse. He flips his bowl over...

Monday, my teacup yorkie, Brodie, got his teeth cleaned for the first time (under anesthesia). This was our first time doing this procedure. He’s almost 6 now, and although I get his teeth brushed every 2-3 months during his grooms, his breath was PUNGENT! I had hesitated doing a full clean bc the anesthesia part makes me nervous.
Anyways, he finally got his teeth done. I picked him up late in the afternoon. All was well, he was a bit groggy and licking the air a bit, which...

I found one myself that had a litter, but it was too soon, and looks like they won't be having any more for quite some time, if ever.

Now I know the Peterbald stems from the Donskoy and Oriental, and I have been looking more closely at Orientals the last week or 2... I know they're not hairless, but can be very shorthaired. Thing is my hubby can't stand cat hairs on...

I purchased summer beds for Cleo and Bagins as their normal ones were too hot for them . I got pink for little princess Cleo and blue for the ginger ninja Mr Bagins , but strange how Mr Bagins prefers princess cleo’s pink one ! Not to worry just yet he may just prefer pink to his blue
Or is it he wants everything Cleo has lol
Sibling rivalry ah ha
Anyway here is a picture , I paid £4 each now this is a bargain !!
